J G, these pics are probably the best thing anyone has seen or heard in the last few days. Typically when you hear or see nothing on line from an area after a rain it usually means things are not good, nice to see you back in business, the trail looks great, happy motoring!!

 hi quebec bob !!!

 

good for you !!! snow was like sand if i can say that ...feeling heavy ......but at least no damages with the rain ....maybe 12 years ago , almost got stuck in the slush ...so , i learned from that ....after heavy rain ....always wait a day ...time to let water go ...

on my way back grooming around 8 am....no stress....- 34 c right now .....just checked ....-35.5 c at 5 am....at the airport !!!

thx

Hope you have everything groomed and smooth, it sounds like the Gaspesie going to get a dump of snow over the next couple days. Tomorrow will be a good couch day or tour in the truck with the camera day. Missed you when we were there last week.  Mike did end up buying his permit from your club when we passed through.
